TASK ORDER CONTRACT TYPES. ‌ The GSA Alliant 2 GWAC is a Multiple Award, Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (MA-IDIQ) Master Contract for Government-wide information technology service-based requirements. Task Order contract types permitted to be issued under this Master Contract include all FAR subparts and sections listed under FAR 16.2 Fixed-price Contracts, FAR 16.3 Cost-Reimbursement Contracts, and FAR 16.4 Incentive Contracts. Additionally, FAR section 16.503 Requirements Contracts; FAR section 16.601 Time- and-materials and FAR 16.602 Labor-hour Contracts are permitted Task Order contract types. However, FAR 16.503 Requirements Contracts should be limited to not exceed the ordering period of the Master Contract. Task Orders may also incorporate FAR 17.1 Multiyear Contracting and FAR 17.2 Option periods procuring Commercial-items or Non-commercial items. These contract types can be used singly or in combination within a single Task Order comprising multiple Contract Line Items (CLINS). B.9.1 Requirements Contract Type‌ A Requirements contract type (FAR Subpart 16.503) provides for filling all actual purchase requirements of designated Government activities for services or supplies during a specified contract period, with performance or deliveries to be scheduled by placing orders with the Contractor. The contracting officer states a realistic estimated total quantity in the Task Order solicitation and the resulting order. All Requirements contract type CLINS within a Task Order must include a defined scope with all items priced at time of award, i.e., Fixed-priced by unit/rate, size or type as defined by the issuing agency. Established pricing is not subject to any adjustment on the basis of the contractor’s cost experience in performing the Task Order, and established Contractor prices will not be subsequently discounted at the Government’s request once negotiated at Task Order award. The agency will direct the Contractor to deliver a specified quantity of the in-scope Government requirement by use of a Call, which activates a pre-priced CLIN or SubCLIN during the term of the Task Order. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Master Contract, the use of Requirements contract types of Task Orders is further restricted to the following: The term of the Task Order (including Options) should not exceed the remaining ordering period of the Master Contract (including the Option) at the time of Requirements Task Order award.
